Fussell was raised in Georgia and resides in North Carolina. He has established himself as a devoted listener and contemplative interpreter of a vast array of so-called folk songs, lovingly sourced from a personal store of favorites. He has released five studio albums to-date, beginning with his self-titled debut album which released in 2015.More recently, Fussell and James Elkington collaborated on the music for "Rebuilding" – a feature film directed by Max Walker-Silverman and starring Josh O’Connor. A soundtrack of the same name was released on Fat Possum Records in November 2025.
Juanita left her home state of Tennessee in her early twenties, excited to meet the world. She traveled in search of herself, worked odd jobsand spent countless nights singing fireside under the stars with friends, never pursuing music as a career.Eventually, she made it back to Tennessee, landing in Nashville with nothing but her dog Loretta, her guitar, and a handful of heartbreak songs. She started singing around town and quickly became a staple live performer and a highly respected vocalist in the traditional country scene in Music City, known for her classic, old school sound.Self proclaimed ramblin’ gal, Juanita has toured heavily around the country since 2021 headlining and supporting acts like Kaitlin Butts, Hayes Carll, Braxton Keith, Nick Shoulders, Emily Nenni, Summer Deanand Jesse Daniel. Her debut record ‘Hardliner’ established her reputation as a full-hearted, free-spirited, and irresistibly genuine honky tonk angel.
HostTruelsen has spent the better part of the last two decades touring across the U.S., honing his craft as a songwriter and performer. With his latest project fronting Country Casserole, he leans into the rock n’ roll side of country music. It’s rowdy, loose and unmistakably him. The band features an all star lineup including JP Parsons (guitar), Rebecca Branson Jones (pedal steel), Sarah Griffin (bass), and Levi Trent (drums).
Tickets to the live show are $49.47 (includes applicable taxes and fees) and may be purchased through the Events page atBirthplaceOfCountryMusic.org.
